ROLL-PAPER HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 20, 1908.

Application flied July 29, acs. Serial No. 445,994.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, GEORGE P. BURRIs, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washin ton, have invented certain new and useful In rovements in Roll-Paper Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has particular reference to holders for rolls of toilet paper, and the primary object thereof is the provision of a simple and inexpensive locking device for supporting a roll of paper so that it may be read 11y unwound but not removed as a roll without first mastering a combination of movements.

With the above and other desirable objects to be referred to hereinafter in view my invention resides in the combination .and arrangement of parts as set forth in the following description and defined in the appended claims.

With reference to the accompanying drawing wherein similar reference numerals designate corresponding arts throughout: Fi ure 1 is a lon itudina sectional vlew of a r0 1 holder embo ying my invention. Fig. 2. is a transverse section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1 and Fi 3 is a perspective view illustrating the ho der sup orting a roll of paper.

With re erenoe to the'drawing, numerals 1 and 2 designate telescoping parts fitting rotatably one about the other and provided with heads as 3 and 4'respectively of relatively large diameter. I Part 1 is of suitable size to fit freely in the center opening of the roll of paper, as A, to be supported and provided internally witha pin or lug 6 adapted for engagement in a roove, as 7, extending circumferentially in 516 periphery of part 2.

Reference numerals 8 and 8 indicate passage ways for pin 6 in .the form of grooves which extend longitudinally in part 2 from 'its inner end and rom groove 7 respectively and communicate at spaced apart polnts with an intermediate annular groove 7 of said part.

Connected with head 3 is a tubular shield 9 which fits rotatably about a flan e 4 of head 4 and is provided with a suitab e aperture or opening, as 9 for insertion of the hand to rotate the roll and feed out the a er.

A suitable device may be provirihd to retard rotary movement of the roll of paper, and for this purpose I have shown aspring 10 secured at oneend to shield 9 and tending then engage to bear inwardly at the free end which is provided with lateral extensions 10 for on agement with the roll of paper at its perip ery.

While the holder may be otherwise socured in osition for use, I preferably provide head 4 wlth suitable apertures, as 4 through which screws may be inserted into engagement With the wall of the room to clamp the head thereupon. I

Reference numeral 12 designates a set screw having screw threaded connection with shield 9 and normally engaging flange 4 to secure the shield from rotatlon.

To open the holder screw 12 is loosened and the shield then grasped to adjust part 1 relatively to part 2 by successive rotary and longitudinal movements to move pin 6 to and through passage 8 to groove 7 and thence in said groove to and Spring 10 may now be pressed outwardly and a roll of aper placed on part 1 which is with art 2 with pin 6 in groove 8 and the shie d 9 moved reversely to that just described for opening the holder to engage said pin in groove 7 when the shield may be rotated to present opening 9 in the desired direction and screw 12 then adjusted to impinge flange 4;

The passage ways and grooves may be varied in arran ement and number from that shown to pro uce holders involving a different combination of o ening movements without departing from t e spirit of my invention.

By the use of my device a satisfactory degree of protection will be secured against theft of the paper-rolls.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States of Amer- 10a, is:

1. A rollaper' holder comprising relatively rotata le telescoping parts, laterally projecting heads at the outer ends of said parts, means for interlocking said parts by successive an ar movements of one part relativel to t e other, and a tubular shield provider? paper extending between said eads.

2. A roll-paper holder comprising a base part, a core part for the roll of paper fitting on said base part for successive angular movements, cooperatin means provided on said parts for interlocklng the same by said movements of the core part, and a shleld for said roll extending about the core part havthrough passage 8'.

ing an 0 ening for feeding out the paper, and a head or said shield connected wlth said core part.

ooimo respective one of said parts, and a shield for 10 the roll secured to one of said heads and havan 0 ening for feeding out the paper.

in 3. A rollaper holder comprising rela- %igne at Seattle,Wash1ngton this 16" day tively rotata le telescoping parts, one of said parts constituting a core for the roll of paper, means for interlocking said fparts by successive angular movements 0 one part relatively to the other, heads secured each to a of July 1908.
